Combined Subthreshold Laser with Push-Pull Fluid Exchange for Treatment of Refractory Macular Hole.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We report on a 55-year-old patient presenting with a 400 μm macular hole which failed to resolve with vitrectomy and internal limited membrane peeling. In accordance with patient wishes to avoid further surgery, subthreshold laser was applied to the macular hole followed by gas exchange with euvolemic C3F8. Successful hole closure was subsequently observed with vision improved by four Snellen lines. Subthreshold laser has several advantages over conventional laser techniques, including reduced collateral thermal damage to the adjacent cells. This case has demonstrated a new use for subthreshold laser, which combined with push-pull technique may be an effective treatment option for persistent MH.
